Happy Weekend to you too. Irene!

The paintings are so like, I think your personality is. Bright and Beautiful 🌞☀️💛

I am going to try my hand at painting again, but probably not until fall. Summer is just too busy. I'm hoping I get what you do from painting.😉

Your Hibiscus are gorgeous! The double pink one is soo pretty. I have two that are like the orange one you have. They are so brilliant and beautiful like yours. It looks like your Hibiscus bushes are much bigger than what we grow in the Midwest. USA.

I have two of mine in large pots with other plants and two in the ground, but yours look like on a regular size bush. Thanks so much for sharing your paintings and pictures! 🎨🖼🌺🌺🌸🌸🩷

Love your painting. Getting quite good at this. Your photos are magnificent. Thank you for keeping us always thinking.

What I do for relaxation is knitting. It keeps my mind focused on what I am doing at the moment and blocks all other daily concerns.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Audrey . Knitting 🧶 is something I would love to try out again. Many years ago my grandmother showed me how.

We have a lovely patient at the hospital who just sits there and knits all day and she looks so happy and relaxed. I just love looking at her and her beautiful creations.

Irene The hibiscus looked bright and smiling. For you, relaxing, pursuing your creativity, and drawing are happy times. I hold a brush, but I like to spend time writing. I write with COLOR. I pursue new changes such as new discoveries, flying letters, strength, kindness, and cuteness. I continue to seek something unique in the world. Thank you, Irene, for sharing your wonderful paintings and photos. I always look forward to seeing your paintings. I am moved by your paintings of sunset skies, seasides, and pristine nature. Australia's 100 beautiful natural scenes are the pride of the country.

I’m surprised that your Hibiscus 🌺 lasted a long time at winter. I love the red ones . Over here they only bloom this season, which is our dry season.
